D. Public Hearings
1. Conduct a Public Hearing for case Z(CD)-01-26 to consider a Zoning Map Amendment
application for +/ - 0.510 acres located at 285 Palaside Drive NE from RM-1 (Residential Medium
Density) to C-1-CD (Light Commercial and Office – Conditional District). This was tabled at the
August Council Meeting, and continued to the September Council Meeting. DENIED

The Planning and Zoning Commission heard the rezoning request for 285 Palaside Dr. at their July 21,
2026, meeting. The Commission voted 3:3 to recommend approval of the proposed zoning request. The
vote did not meet the required super-majority vote of three-fourths (3/4) of the Commission, so the
request has been forwarded to City Council for a final decision. This rezoning request does not require
an amendment to the 2030 Land Use Plan as this property is designated as Mixed-Use Activity (MUAC).
The applicant proposes the rezoning to convert an existing single-family residence into a commercial
office, specifically as a professional Hispanic-serving CPA service.
Recommendation: Conduct a Public Hearing and consider adopting an ordinance amending the official
zoning map from RM-1 (Residential Medium Density) to C-1-CD (Light Commercial and Office –
Conditional District).
2. Conduct a public hearing to consider adopting an ordinance amending Article 9.5
(Neighborhood Infill Residential District) and Article 12.4 (Permanent Signs) of the Concord
Development Ordinance (CDO) to address flexibility in the development of infill lots and to
address permanent signs in the Center City (CC) zoning district. APPROVED
The proposed amendments to Article 9.5 of the Concord Development Ordinance (CDO) are principally
intended to address the current development standards and some of the challenges faced in creating
fully compliant site plans for infill development. The proposed amendments to Article 12.4 provide the
addition of directory signage in the Center City zoning district.
The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously voted to recommend the amendments to Council at
their August 18, 2026 meeting.
Recommendation: Motion to adopt an ordinance amending Article 9.5 (Neighborhood Infill Residential
District) and Article 12.4 (Permanent Signs) of the Concord Development Ordinance (CDO) to address
flexibility in the development of infill lots and to address permanent signs in the Center City (CC) zoning
district.
3. Conduct a public hearing for case Z(CD)-23-25 and consider adopting an ordinance amending
the official zoning map for +/-4.879 acres located at 190 George W. Liles Pkwy. from C-1-CD (Light
Commercial and Office -Conditional District) to C- 2-CD (General Commercial Conditional
District) and to amed the 2030 Future Land Use Plan to modify the future land use designation of
the parcel from Urban Neighborhood (UN) to Commercial (C). DENIED
The planning and Zoning Commission heard the above referenced petition at their August 18, 2026
meeting and voted unanimously to recommend denial of the zoning map amendment request from C-1CD (Light Commercial and Office- Conditional District) to C-2-CD (General Commercial- Conditional
District) and to amend the 2030 Future Land Use Plan to modify the future land use designation of the
parcel from Urban Neighborhood (UN) to Commercial (C).
The applicant proposes the rezoning of the property to develop a +/- 5,600 sq. ft. convenience store and
+/- 1,330 sq. ft. car wash. The applicant's site plan indicates a second lot to be created for a "Future
Commercial Development".
Recommendation: Conduct a public hearing and consider adopting an ordinance amending the official
zoning map from C-1-CD (Light Commercial and Office-Conditional District) to C-2-CD (General
Commercial- Conditional District) and to amend the 2030 Land Use Plan to designate the parcel as
"Commercial".
4. Conduct a public hearing and consider adopting an ordinance annexing +/- 32.927 acres at
9511 Benjamin Walker Ln. (PIN 4680-14-4164) owned by the City of Concord. APPROVED

Voluntary annexation petition of +/- 32.927 acres at 9511 Benjamin Walker Ln. The property is currently
zoned Cabarrus County LDR (Lower Density Residential). The proposed annexation would allow City
Parks and Recreation Department to construct a greenway for connecting J.E. Ramseur Park to the
nearby neighborhood. If annexed, this parcel would be in District 4.
Recommendation: Conduct a public hearing and consider a motion adopting the annexation ordinance
and set an effective date for September 10, 2026.
E. Presentations of Petitions and Requests
1. Consider authorizing the City Manager to execute multiple change orders with Wesco for the
Electric and Water Resources meter replacement and AMI project. APPROVED
As the project has progressed through detailed systems integrations and the site analysis phase, several
updates and changes are needed to the original scope of the contract. The project does not need any
additional funding. Council approval is needed due to contracting rules and procedures based on the
total amount of these changes. The project did not include a contingency like construction projects
typically do.
Change orders CO-1, CO -2A, CO-2B, and CO-3 are changes the Concord project team is requesting
for additional functionality of the MDMS and integration changes. These changes will greatly improve
use and functionality for many years to come and will avoid additional integration needs once the project
is complete.
Change orders CO- 4, CO -5, and CO-6 are additional materials needed now that specific site visits to
data collector sites have been completed. The original scope included average estimates for the
materials and final location decisions have resulted in additional material needed for these sites. These
costs are spread between the 44 data collector sites.
The total change order value is $234,020.47. Additionally, we ask for authorizing the City Manager to
approve additional change orders not to exceed an additional $250,000. This authorization will assure
the project team can make quick decisions to keep the project on schedule if needed.
Recommendation: Motion to authorize the City Manager to execute multiple change orders with Wesco
for the Electric and Water Resources meter replacement and AMI project in the amount of $234,020.47
and authorize the City Manager to approve an additional $250,000 in future change orders as needed.
2. Consider authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute a contract with J.D. Goodrum
for the construction of the Hangar In Common at the Concord-Padgett Regional Airport in the
amount of $13,229,824.96. APPROVED
This project will be constructing the new hangar in common on the north end of the general aviation
ramp. Work leading up to this hangar has included extending the ramp and extending the roadway north
(to be completed in Fall 2026) so this hangar will have both landside and airside access.
Following a formal solicitation process, five (5) bids were publicly opened on July 23, 2026. While multiple
bids were received, it became apparent that a correction to the bid packet was needed and in the best
interest of the City, all bids were rejected. After making the correction to the bid packet, the project was
re-bid. 4 bids were publicly opened on August 28, 2026. J.D. Goodrum was identified as the lowest
responsible, responsive bidder.
The proposed award includes the Base Bid plus Alternates 1- 5 which includes fire alarm monitoring,
sprinkler system monitoring and preferred alternates for hangar door, emergency backup generator and
surveillance cameras. The total contract value is $13,229,824.96.

The funding for the construction will be from NCDOT- State Airport Improvement Program, TRDF
(Transportation Reserve Direct Funding) and BIL (Bipartisan Infrastructure Law).
Recommendation: Motion to authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute a contract with J.D.
Goodrum for construction of the Hangar in Common.

the committee is recommending the top rank firm, Talbert, Bright & Ellington, Inc. FAA Airport District
Office has concurred with the committee’s recommendation. A separate work authorization will be
required for each project along with an independent fee analysis prior to the grant offer.
